Bloggers' Quilt Festival - voting is now open ***Update

NOTE: To vote, just click on the heart!! I was terribly confused with the way things were set up this morning on how the voting button looked on my computer and therefore accidentally voted for the wrong quilt. I emailed Amy and now that it has been fixed, I am hoping everyone can vote successfully for the one that they actually want.

I decided that I would enter little Patric's quilt in the baby quilt category. For my second grandson, I wanted to use a pattern that was in Quilter's Newsletter magazine, issues 223 and 224
(June and July/August of 1990) called Fun Time Bears by Theresa
Eisinger.

Here it is all finished.

This was the first little bear that was made. He was given some books and glasses.

Little Sailor Bear was a cute idea.

There are little girl bears too in this world.

I just had to make a little bear that wore sunglasses.

Sleepy Time Bear has his own little bear to keep him company.

This little bear loves to play ball.

The owner of the quilt, little Patric, loves to look at all the bright colours.

I hope he enjoys it for years and years.

The quilt was a joy to make. It was hand appliqued and hand quilted.

November 1 – 7 – Vote for favourites in each of the categories and there are a lot of different categories.

I absolutely love your quilt and would love to vote for it, but when I go and try to do so, it links me back to your blog. Is there something I'm missing?? I might, if there ever is a bambino of the 'grand' sort in my life, want to make one of these quilts.
